APS TherapyTM was invented in 1991 by Gervan Lubbe. Lubbe read in a medical magazine the use and the importance of the bodies own actionpotential. This electical signal exists in every body and controls many body processes like the production of the bodies own painkillers.
Lubbe, who was electrotechnician at the time designed a device that simulated this actionpotential. This device was going to change the world of paintherapy. He named the device "APS". "APS" stands for Action Potential Simulation.
A few years later the APS device gained worldwide fame by important people in the world who started working with the device. Prof. Chris Barnard, who successfully fullfilled the first successful heart transplant in the world in the sixties, was very enthausiastic about the APS device and became a personal friend of Lubbe. Barnard treated himself against the symptomes of arthritis and was amazed by the success of the treatment. Barnard told that he was surprized that the pain stayed away and not like other therapies where the pain would come back after a certain time.
Results like these made it possible that in 1998 in Geneva APS TherapyTM received the gold medal for the best medical invention of that year.
In the mean time millions of people all over the world work with APS devices. The one to treat the sportsinjuries and the other to get peinrelief for chronical pain troubles.
